The wife had new quartz kitchen countertop installed. I wasn't there, but she said they set up a scanned in near the counter top and scanned the existing one. Well the installation didn't work so well. The gap in the rear is too big for the tile back splash to cover and each end was to but up against the existing floor to ceiling cabinet. Fit at side rear is good but has a gap in front of 3/16". Doesn't sound like much, but looks bad. I obviously need to discuss with installation people. Just curious what the accuracy of their scanner is. New to me.
It was probably a level commonly used by carpenters.?ÿ Looks a bit like a scanner.
I??d be interested. Cheapest survey grade scanner is a blk360, and I doubt most kitchen places would be buying those. I??ve heard of cheap, specialist scanners being used for windows but never looked into them (I??m guessing like a disto 910). Perhaps something like that.
I just had granite done in my house. He scanned my cabinets to .0001 inch.?ÿ
Note to self:?ÿ Never install granite in my house.
The concrete slab floor is resting atop highly expansive clay soils.?ÿ Things move one heck of a lot more than we realize.

Strange that they worry so much about it being level when they can't seem to even cut it the right size.

So ignoring than the optimistic accuracies, what gear did they use?
For something "smallish" like a kitchen there is NOTHING like a large sheet of card propped up at the right height to make sure that
a) it fits
b) you can get it into place without demolishing the building!
(If necesary put triangular card ribs under it to keep it from bending - and they'll support the cat when it goes to investigate!).
